Really liked this one.

some interesting brushwork. tight ammo/health situation throughout i thought. short and sweet.

Blister 2 on The Quake Grave

This map is MUCH better than it's predecessor! Not that the first was bad, it's a competent, short little map. However, when compared to it's sequel, it doesn't stand a chance! This map is probably about the same length as the first but there are many more twists and turns in this one. The work with the architecture and textures is much more attractive and unique here, adding stained glassed windows and more differentiation between walls and beams and the sort. The flow of the map is good as well, as each room offers up a decent challenge that isn't too difficult if you know what you're doing. Make sure you find that secret to live though, health pick ups and are few and you may need some! Fun map!

It's OK, a bit of a step forward from the original Blister, but it's still short, weak and random even by 1997 standards, let alone modern standards.

Definite improvement on the first Blister map. The architecture's improved the most, while the gameplay has remained quite similar to the first one. Even the weapon selection available to the player has remained the same. I'd say it's worth spending the few minutes it takes to complete this map. 3/5.

@Esrael, haven't seen you comment in a long time! Glad you're back; I always enjoyed your map reviews.

Regarding this map: the layout and combat are both pretty good. There are a few custom textures (a broken door, stained-glass windows, stone carvings) that looks very nice but seem out of place in a map that's otherwise visually plain. I agree w/ previous comments this is an improvement over the previous Blister, and it's pretty good for any early custom map.

@JMP: Oh, thank you for the kind words! It's quite the nice surprise to have left some kind of positive mark. :) I'm also glad to see familiar names here since the last time I've been active over 2.5 years ago. I always appreciated your feedback on my maps and your reviews, in general!
